For those who are new to Fi, steps to become an existing user and
1. Open an account with flexible plan. Use unmentionable code from existing user for $60 credit.
2. Just to be safe, wait for the first bill to be generated before ordering the phone. This will take couple of days. At the very least wait for a day but I suggest waiting for the first bill generation.
3. Once the phone is shipped you need to activate the phone within 30 days. At this point another counter for new user r**f credit is also running down from 30 days. I strongly suggest you wait for that counter to hit zero before you activate the phone. All the counters will be shown on FI app-billing-Track FI saving and instant rebate.
4. Once the phone is activated on FI by downloading the FI app, you should wait for a day for the counter to go down by 1. At this point you can disable/remove the eSIM and use your current provider.5. At no point during 120 days move the FI SIM to another phone (i.e. do not install FI app on any other phone and log into this FI account). Once the counter reaches 0 you can cancel the line or pause it for next deal.
The total cost will be $650 + $25 (plans cost per month including fees) * 5 - $60 = $715

The terms says: Remain active and in good standing on the qualifying device for 120 consecutive days. Pausing, changing, or suspending the account will void the promotion.
I am a little concerned about the wording "account" instead of "line" in the terms. Anyone has real life experience with similar situation?
Thank you, both.
Because if what you said is true then for me return period and 21 days ref counter is gonna be on same day.
Alternatively, I was also thinking what happens if I somehow donot receive it today (missed shipment)? UPS might try to deliver it second time and then maybe it will buy me one more day to test this theory.
After you start the return process: You have 14 days to complete the return. (Not sure if they charge for shipping costs for a returned item).
Yep, it does work and continue to gather

I agree with you on that note, those are on the border of the 21 days, on the 12th day start return and buy the other 14 days, and you are back in business if the counter starts, then you keep it, else return it.
wow need to find out why >>>>

So not sure what's different for folks getting an error message instead of the usual countdown.
Haven't received my son's S26U yet. He's also a new Fi user.
